Facebook Closes Account of Journalist Who Posted Articles on PA Corruption
(Algemeiner) Khaled Abu Toameh, a veteran reporter for the Jerusalem Post, had his Facebook account deactivated for posting articles about corruption in the Palestinian Authority. "All I have done recently is share some articles which have been in the Jordanian press (in Arabic) about corruption. I am for transparency, against corruption, and yet they ban my account and continue to allow the leader of Hamas to have an account. I am not in favor of terrorism like he is." Facebook reportedly removed his account following complaints from the PA and Jordanian security authorities.
